Field studies to determine the effects of chemicals on earthworm communities are generally conducted according to the ISO‐standard 11268‐3. However, statistical test procedures suggested in the guideline are frequently criticized due to low statistical power. In a comprehensive data re-analysis study we proved that the recently developed test procedure CPCAT detects substantially more statistically significant effects in earthworm field tests than standard t‐test approaches.
